if you are saying .wav is the closest I can get to FLAC then I'm sure I will , unless it's not that close to FLAC lol... I know files are huge FLAC is ridiculously huge but I dont care haha it's the quality that matters... FLAC over 320kbps MP3 has a HUGE difference in sound quality not even comparable

 

Highway to Hell is in there.

I've also been there



Telcoman

 

You are 100% correct. There is a big difference. Will you be able to notice that difference in the car? I cant. I can only notice the difference wearing high end headphones. But then again, maybe you got superhuman hearing

 

You're Telcoman and you live in Jersey. Bell Labs? Bellcore? Telcordia? AT&T? Lucent? Avaya? Verizon?

 

You know you're from New Jersey when...

• You don't think of fruit when people mention "The Oranges".
• You know that it's called Great Adventure, not Six Flags.

• You know how to properly negotiate a Circle.
• You knew that the last sentence had to do with driving.
• You know that this is the only "New __" state that doesn't require "New" to identify it (like, try...Mexico,...York, .Hampshire - doesn't work, does it?)
• You know that a "White Castle" is the name of BOTH a fast food chain AND a fast food sandwich.
• You consider putting mayo on a corned beef sandwich a sacrilege.
• You don't think "What exit?" is very funny.
• You know that people from the 609 area code are "a little different". Yes they are!

• You start planning for Memorial Day weekend in February.
• You've NEVER, NEVER pumped your own gas.

 

They've had your car for 2 weeks just for the USB problem. WTF??? I assume you got a loaner but you need to tell these guys you want it fixed now, no ifs, ands or buts. If it's a known issuee then there is a known solution. I would be livid. If that was my car i would be basically saying fix the car now and stop ****ing around especially if I ponied up extra dough for an extended warranty.

 

Yes I can definitely notice the difference in the car, I dont know about you maybe perhaps it's the premium sound system that I have that perhaps you might be missing out on. IDK all I know is that I can definitely notice the difference between FLAC and 320kbps MP3

 

Update on the issue:

So they call me on Friday and tell me that my car is ready. When I get there the USB issue is still not working. They then went ahead and informed me that the reason why my flashdrive isnt playing is because I have too many files on it. It has about 1300 songs. They stated that all g37s with navigation will not play a flashdrive with that amount of songs on it. I tested one with about 100 and it played just fine. They then stated that the USB was only meant for IPOD hook up and then highlighted the section in the manual where it states compatible, IPODs. To me this is utter BS!! I flipped on every single person in that service department and told them that its outrageous as to how this is a "capacity" issue and they cannot fix it. its only an 8GB flashdrive, but when i put a 64GB iphone it plays with no problem. It makes no DAMN SENSE to call it a capacity issue. The Service Manager told me that he would be reaching out to their Engineers to find out more about this issue as its the first time anyone has every brought their car in for this. They gave me my car back, and he said he would reach out to me with whatever information he gets back. He then stated that if for some reason there is no fix for this, that maybe he and I can come to some sort of agreement, on the matter (im assuming free parts or service). Any insights?? With as much money as these cars cost us, to me this is utter BS, and extremely inexcusable!! Any guidance is appreciated, please let me know.

 

Looking at the manual on my 2012, there are limits as follows:
With navigation system:
Folder levels: 8, Folders: 512 (including root folder), Files: 5,000
Without navigation system:
Folder levels: 8, Folders and files: 999 (Max. 255 files for one folder)

 

Hey Mike, if you have an iphone then i suggest you convert FLAC to appless lossless format, m4a i think. It converts without any quality loss. I tried listening to it this morning and the quality is superb. I dont think i will load any more mp3's. If you dont have an iphone, then you only option is .wav from a usb stick. You can also listen to FLAC via bluetooth but that will kill the quality.
